396 One Emperor and Four Heavenly Kings

Qin Han didn't expect that he just went to the University of Tokyo and drew a propaganda poster for a student club, and by the way, he practiced his hands, which attracted so much attention.

Looking at the email requesting an interview, Qin Han rubbed his temples and said to himself: "Okay, since that's the case, let's release some news and start promoting it in advance." "Gundam" is a big investment every year, and if you make a mistake, I'm afraid you will lose everything. Now that the discussion is hot, it is beneficial to take the opportunity to announce some news to attract sustained attention. ”

So, Qin Han checked his email one by one, preparing to choose a media and be interviewed.

After reading it, he found that among the media that sent the email, there was "Animage".

Qin Han and this animation information magazine with the longest history in Dongying are still quite related. Previously, he had been interviewed by "Animage", and also revealed the big news that he was going to draw a football manga after the end of "Dragon Sakura".

"Animage" is famous, qualified, and professional, and will not play small tricks such as taking quotes out of context and headline parties for the sake of traffic, and the reports are basically objective.

So, Qin Han sent an email back to Animage directly, asking them to contact his assistant Kyokamiri to make an appointment for an interview.

The response from Animage was very positive, and the two sides quickly agreed to conduct an interview at Qin Han's home tomorrow afternoon.

Qin Han sorted out a large number of mechanical design materials brought back from Dongda, classified them into categories, and then began a long reading work.

In mechanical engineering, the primary goal of design work is to meet the needs of reality, and aesthetics and other things are secondary. This is completely different from the design needs in entertainment works of art such as animation.

However, the complex and sophisticated machinery, even without any visual decoration and beautification, still has an industrial beauty.

And this aesthetic is irreplaceable by any aesthetic design.

In Gundam's joints, drivetrains, and endoskeletons, real-life mechanical design knowledge can be applied.

Throughout the day, Qin Han flipped through the materials of the mechanical design while checking the work results of several assistants. And in the evenings, he sits in front of the TV and watches the animation of the rental super robot for inspiration.

The next morning, Qin Han continued to watch the animation.

He spent a whole night, plus a morning, to finish watching all of "True Demon God Z".

Although super robot animation is a bit flooded in the animation market in Toei today, the really excellent works are still full of charm.

In the afternoon, because of the interview, Qin Han directly gave the assistants a day off.

At the appointed time, the visual communicator in the entrance sounded on time.

Qin Han looked over and found that the reporter standing in front of the special elevator downstairs was actually the Kurosawa reporter who interviewed him last time.

"It seems like a coincidence. Perhaps, the editorial team of Animage thinks that Kurosawa has dealt with me and it is better to send an acquaintance?" Qin Han thought to himself.

"Mr. Qin Han, I'm Kurosawa from Animage, good afternoon. I'm here for the interview I booked yesterday. Kurosawa reporter said.

"Wait a minute, I'll open the elevator for you right away......"

Reporter Kurosawa passed through many "checkpoints" all the way, and finally arrived at Qin Han's house, and after meeting and greeting, he couldn't help but sigh: "Teacher Qin Han, the apartment you live in is amazing!"

"Security measures are troublesome, aren't they?" Qin Han smiled and led him into the studio, "What do you drink?"

"Oolong tea is good. The Kurosawa reporter hurriedly said, "This security measure is not troublesome at all. To be honest, if I were as famous as you, Mr. Qin Han, not only would I install a tight security system at home, but I might also invite a bodyguard. ”

The two chatted for a while, and the Kurosawa reporter took out a voice recorder and began the official interview.

Kurosawa reporters don't plan to get straight to the point right as soon as they come up, because that would simply not be enough to do an interview column in a magazine. He started by asking questions about "The Heart of the Midfield".

"Mr. Qin Han, since the beginning of the serialization of "Midfield Core", it has had an extremely rapid momentum, and even beat "Dragon Ball" and won the first place in the readers' popularity vote of "Weekly Shonen Jump". Many people say that this manga has surpassed Dragon Ball and will be the pillar of "Weekly Shonen Jump" in the next five years. Some people even say that the term "JUMP Four Heavenly Kings" is outdated now, and it should be changed to JUMP Five Heavenly Kings. What do you think of these statements?"

"Hmm...... Although "Midfield Core" has indeed achieved good results since the beginning of serialization, it is pure nonsense to say that it has surpassed "Dragon Ball". Just two or three reader surveys don't tell the whole story. If JUMP wants to decide whether to cut a new manga in half, it will depend on at least ten episodes of serialization. ”

"Yes, a manga like "Dragon Ball", which has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, is indeed a peak that is difficult to surpass. However, Mr. Qin Han, although you think that the foundation of "Midfield Core" is still shallow and cannot be compared with "Dragon Ball" for the time being, what kind of pattern do you think JUMP will be in half a year?

"I'm not a legendary mage Huang Xudong who has mastered the reverse prophecy technique, I'm not used to predictions......" Qin Han saw that the Kurosawa reporter looked confused, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, if you don't understand what I just said, just forget it." ”

He thought for a moment and said, "The statement of the Four Heavenly Kings of JUMP is indeed outdated. And the Five Heavenly Kings or something, it's too old-fashioned, and it can't reflect the pattern of this magazine. I think it's best to use 'One Emperor and Four Heavenly Kings' to summarize the ranking of JUMP in half a year. ”

"One Emperor and Four Heavenly Kings?"

"Yes. The strongest emperor is, of course, Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball". And the Four Heavenly Kings are "Beidou God Fist", "City Hunter", "Saint Seiya", and "Midfield Core". ”

"Oh! Teacher Qin Han's statement is indeed more suitable for the current situation. ”

Today's "Dragon Ball" is in its heyday, and it can be called the top of the mountain, and it can be said that it is far ahead compared with the other three heavenly kings, and it is indeed not suitable to be put together to compare.

The Kurosawa reporter continued to ask: "Teacher Qin Han, although now with your joining, "Weekly Shonen Jump" has a heyday lineup of emperors and four heavenly kings. But at most a year, "Fist of the Big Dipper" and "City Hunter" will end one after another, do you think there are other manga artists who have the strength to become the new king?"
